ive noticed many good things posted - very helpful tidbits of knowledge throughout these forums. has anyone considered some sort of system to archive the most useful stuff in a easily accessible place, so they dont scroll down to oblivion and become lost in an information entropy pool as the days pass by?

so they dont scroll down to oblivion and become lost in an information entropy pool as the days pass by?

you werent paying attention
kanuslupus. the information is still there, but she said lost in a pool! which is so true. and while that search function is handy, it is by no means a thorough search tool. i could type "courier not logging in" and it's search every document with the words courier, not, logging, and in. no matter what. sure, i could tell it to search the title text only but that's not very useful as people dont always label their topics properly.

and when you've gotta ton of posts in the archives... it gets a bit frustrating.

perhaps im wrong though... maybe im the only one with the search engine problems....

Google is usually my first line of defense. If something suddenly breaks that was working two days ago, then the mailing list archives are my second line. Then I come here. I agree that there's a lot of stuff to sort through no matter how you write out your search. The idea of an archive of useful or knowledgable posts would be much better done by someone who has a lot of free time cataloging problems and saving them to some sort of massive FAQ/Howto (a la Life With Qmail) than something handled by the message board. That would be super neat, but you'll probably have a hard time finding someone willing to do it... maybe if we split it up by forum...? I'd be willing to chip in for a small part like that. I've got a lot of dead time while I'm at work these days. Anyone else?

well, the only thing i can think of is making the thread a 'sticky' thread, but then again, what one mod thinks is a cool tip, some people may seem as a waste of bandwidth._________________Face it, we are all noobs.

On the box it said it was designed for Win XP or better, so why won't it work with Linux?
